Reflections of the heart

June 2, 2012

Full ♥

I have not been here in so long.
New job and lots of ministry has kept me so busy that when I come home I really don't even desire to blog.
I feel so guilty admitting it. 

I find it amazing how it seems that the seasons of life truly come and fade away without me even realizing it.
For a while, up until April, this blog and the world around it were really what helped keep me afloat.
I could relate to so many other women and pour out my heart whenever it was heavy.

But these days that isn't the case.
These days I'm praying more.
I'm reading more.
And I'm living so much more than I used to, if that makes any sense...
Christ has brought me to a place of really thinking of Him constantly...
 
My life seems to only get bigger and fuller with Christ and that isn't at all in proportion to people or things.
He just makes life fuller.
It's as if the smallest things, the things that maybe were once overlooked, begin to have meaning and significance...

I stand under the stars a lot.
That's my "thing", if you will.
I stand under the stars for many reasons.
I stand under the stars because I recognize that it is grace that holds them.
At any minute they could begin to fall upon us all.
Gravity is not guaranteed to anyone, time or place because gravity is not controlled by anyone, time or place but by GOD alone.

I stand under the stars because they remind me of Gods sovereignty and grace and they remind me to pray.
Even if I just shoot out a quick one before walking in my door to get to bed.
They remind me of what Life is truly about...
Living and communing and thriving in Christ.
And I forget so easily...

But I say all of that, not to sound spiritual, but to show you an example of just how full my life has become.
Those are the moments that I feel the most loved, seen by God, heard by God and in His presence.
When I stand under the stars.

And the woman I used to be could not have grasped that simplicity and beauty before having Christ.

Isn't God amazing?

Thanks for reading. Talk to you all soon I pray...
